WHAT IT IS
Reveal your most radiant skin yet with this lightweight and transformative facial oil powered by antioxidant rich goji berry, brightening plant botanicals like rosehip oil and sea buckthorn oil, and an advanced form of Vitamin C and Vitamin E. 

This potent blend evens skin tone, targets dark spots, and supports collagen production for visibly brighter and firmer skin.

WHAT IT DOES
A brightening and firming facial oil with antioxidant rich goji berry and tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a stabilized and powerful Vitamin C that:
  • Addresses hyperpigmentation, dark spots and uneven skin tone
  • Supports elasticity and firmness of the skin
  • Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Stabilized Vitamin C + Vitamin E 
  • Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a stable Vitamin C: powerfully brightens, reduces hyperpigmentation, and firms the skin.
    Vitamin E: maximizes the effectiveness of Vitamin C while protecting against environmental stressors.
Antioxidant Rich Plant Botanicals
  • Goji Berry: delivers nutrients to support firmness and elasticity in the skin. Goji berries have been used extensively in Traditional Chinese Medicine and known for being high in Vitamin C and antioxidants to support the body.
  • Elderberry: fights free radical damage to combat the appearance of fine lines.
  • Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil: hydrates the skin and supports skin repair.
  • Rosehip Oil: evens skin tone and hyperpigmentation.
WHO IT IS FOR
Ideal for all skin types. Especially beneficial for those dealing with hyperpigmentation, dark spots or uneven skin tone or with skin that has been dulled by environmental stressors, lifestyle, or daily stress.

Non-comedogenic and formulated with blemish prone & sensitive skin in mind.

HOW IT WORKS
Why Tetrahexyldecyl (THD) Ascorbate versus Other Forms of Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a beloved skincare ingredient because of its well studied benefits like targeting hyperpigmentation, neutralizing free radicals and preserving collagen. 
What’s important to note when selecting a Vitamin C product is that there are multiple forms of Vitamin C, and not all forms act the exact same way. Many forms tend to oxidize quickly, which means their chemical structure is prone to change when exposed to oxygen, thus resulting in lower efficacy over time. We selected THD Ascorbate because it’s a far more stable form of Vitamin C, meaning it does not easily lose potency in neutralizing free radicals, supporting collagen production and evening skin tone when compared to other popular forms of Vitamin C.

WHY IS BRIGHTENING BERRY VITAMIN C AN OIL?
Brightening Berry Vitamin C Facial Oil’s waterless concentrate form allows it to maximize nutrients delivered in each drop. The Vitamin C we selected, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, is oil soluble which allows our formulation to more readily penetrate into the skin than a water based formulation through the intercellular matrix. 

Because of this unique oil delivery, Vitamin C works with the Vitamin E within the skin matrix to maximize results. Along with other antioxidant-rich lipid-soluble ingredients like rosehip and sea buckthorn oil, this powerful combination of ingredients can more effectively combat free radicals that damage the skin.

All of the oils in Brightening Berry Vitamin C are biocompatible and non-comedogenic. They supply the skin with essential moisture without clogging pores and provide the perfect base for facial massage.

HOW TO USE THIS FACIAL OIL
Warm a few drops of Brightening Berry Vitamin C with your palms, and massage into damp skin after essence. Bring down to the neck and decolletage. Can be used both day and night. Follow with sunscreen in your morning routine. 
Pair with any of the Mount Lai facial tools for a luxurious face massage that enhances penetration into the skin, addresses adhesions in underlying fascia, and relaxes tense muscles.

Brightens my day

This is my 5th bottle! I love this oil. It really helps me start in a calming, relaxing, and brighter day. It helps me stay consistent with my gua sha routine, because it's just so wonderful! Also love the jade gua sha tool, use it daily.

Brightening Berry Vitamin C Facial Oil

I have really enjoyed using the vitamin C facial oil for the last 2 weeks. I feel the oil has brightened my skin, giving it that dew look, and it feels more hydrated it as well.

Lesser volume content of Facial Serum

emailed customer service regarding the items I received from my order#142485. I have just received my orders and emailed you right away after I unpack my order. Two items in my orders did not come in good condition. The Mini Tremella Tonic Activating Essence Mist came in a damage box. It does not look as new item or packaging. Also the Brightening Berry Vitamin C Serum I purchased seemed to be off. The dropper bottle is not full. The item i received is completely different and less volume compared to what is shown in the website. Please acknowledge my email so I can atleast return this two items, and ask for replacement.

Thank you and I appreciaye your response on this

Love the glow

Super effective product. I have eczema, dry, sensitive skin and I am on my second bottle of this stuff. It gives a great glow, smells good, easy to apply and pat into the skin and the bottle lasts a while. Moreover it has effectively reduced many acne scars and prevented new ones. I apply 2 drops to cleansed and patted dry skin. I quickly warm it up in my hands and pat it into my skin. I wait a minute or two then I add my face cream (elf/laneige/belief/Cera ve have all layered well over this). I order this from canada - hopefully they add it to sephora Canada. Also I appreciate the nature and roots of this brand and the quality of their ingredients.

Finally! A Facial Oil that Delivers!

I've tried many facial oils over the years and have never been able to use one until now. I was hesitant to even put another one on my ultra sensitive skin, but the mini size came with my LED tool so I gave it a try and loved it so much I ordered the full size! This is a new must-have and my skin is SO happy. With the use of the Tremella Mist, Calming Herbal Repair Balm, Vitamin C Oil, and regular gua sha, I have been able to simplify my skin care routine and toss so many other products. Thank you so much!

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE RITUAL

Why It Works

Mount Lai tools are designed to work on the lymphatic system, address adhesions in the fascia and melt tension in the facial and jaw muscles, promoting a radiant complexion + combatting fine lines and wrinkles.

01 / Why is lymphatic drainage important? The lymphatic system is a part of the immune system that helps the body get rid of toxins and waste. ...

02 / The benefits of lymphatic drainage are two-fold. Lymphatic drainage removes toxic and congestive substances from the tissues, which allows greater absorption of nutrients. ...

03 / Why is using a tool better than using your hands? The beauty of Mount Lai tools is that they work on the skin without pulling. As a result, the tool is able to work on the very surface level of the skin to target the lymph system and fascia that you wouldn’t be able to target with your hands. ...
